Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the availability and choice of housing within Wandsworth
The effect of the development on the local visitor economy and infrastructure

What decided it

The loss of residential units caused by the unauthorised change of use is harmful to housing availability and choice in Wandsworth and conflicts with development plan policies protecting housing supply, and this substantial harm outweighs the limited short-term economic benefits to the visitor economy.

Framework references: 219

Plan policies cited: London Plan Policy H8, Wandsworth Development Management Policies Document Policy DMH1, Core Strategy Policy IS5, Wandsworth Development Management Policies Document Policy DTMS13, London Plan Policy E10

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
